In the coming weeks, The New York Times Magazine will publish a story featuring an extensive interview with former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, two sources familiar with the story tell POLITICO.

Weiner famously resigned from congress in 2011 after sending graphic images of himself to a 21-year-old college student. Abedin, a top aide to former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, was quiet at the time of the incident, though Weiner described her as "very unhappy" and "very disappointed." Last August, the New York Post reported that he and Abedin had moved into a $3.3 million Manhattan apartment.

The Times Magazine article would come just weeks after the Wall Street Journal report showing that Weiner had spent over $100,000 on polling and research, leading to speculation that he is preparing a political comeback.

New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the article.
